Sorry, that was apparently wrong too. It's even more mysterious!

 gpg --sign file.txt

triggers the *incorrect* behavior in 1.2.0-1 (correct in 1.1.0-4), but

 debsign foo.dsc

triggers the *correct* behavior in both versions! I really have no idea
what's going on here.

Like above, the stuff I say about "signing prompts" here is not true for
gpg --sign, only true for debsign. Shrug!
